I was an OOTP user since version 3, and it was very discouraging that once OOTP moved to SI Games, it seemed that online leagues were basically forgotten, and now real world rosters seem to be heading right down that tunnel also. Are there really that few people out there willing to make some quality rosters in exchange for a free copy of the game? And if they don't follow through, just revoke their license, lol.
Anyways, this wasn't really meant to be a rant, but you did ask why I haven't bought this game  . |
Another one in a long line of people who just don't seem to get it. But to each their own. I have been running an online league for 7 years, and certainly do find 2006 had its nuances, but not once did I say I am being neglected by OOTP for running my league. Am I in the minority???
The issue of rosters is a challenging one.
Please define to me what is quality. Just MLB? All the minor leaguers? How many prospects? Do you want Japan, the Dominican Leagues, and all the other subleagues too?
Do you have that amount of free time to commit to a thankless effort?
BTW, I italicized a specific part of your quote. This could be interpreted as "soft dollar compensation" in the context you present. While I know that legally, SI could use names and stats, it's a risk to compensate for using them if that were appealed and overturned, something I know the high priced lawyers are attempting to correct.
